Guide To Titans In Eve Online - What Does $4000 Worth Of Internet Spaceship Look Like? 

***** The Mighty Bob

TheSpiikki nah,i think mike tyson would be better.

cheatcodek The name Horst added every opponent in fear and terror, or Fluffy, the name is also spreading terror.

Sylvia Rohge Or,Fluffle puff!

Tengou in the beginning god created adam and steve

At least better than USS George W Bush.

David Liao Which would still be better then the USS Obama or rather "Nobama".

David Liao Gabriel Tams Why do you guys have to bring politics into it? Fuck off.

Fuck off kid, politic is a topic not for your age.

David Liao My bad I guess you're too euphoric for me with your "politic."

You have as much time as everyone else

You got enough time to post ballroom dance video lol.. to each their own. lmao

Jonnathan B LOL

@@jonnathanb118 lmfao

That's funny because this game LITERALLY trains your skills while you're not playing and logged off.

+Kaitlyn Amanda and you pay fucking subscription to play the damn game

+vegas Which is a completely normal thing. If there was no subscription EVE would stop development years ago.

Waisso i wish 2 play but no money...

vegas Then use ingame currency to pay for the game monthly. After 3-4 months of paying subscription, you can easily get enough ingame money to pay for the game each month.

Waisso If you play the safe market trader, this is easy. A lot of people like to try the "high risk; high reward" method though and wonder why they're always broke. Lol.

scottish

Alan Drever-Smith Ouch. Always had a hard time telling which is which.

Helmstif, the Sarcastic Asianman Haha, sorry for being so blunt! I'm English so it's easy for me as i hear the accents all the time!

Well my accent is diluted from 5 years in Ireland and 15 in California.

Alan Drever-Smith Apparantly not, it is Irish, not Scottish.

If ever a new Titan class is introduced, the first one should be called the Rodgers.

Steve refers to Steve Irwin, who had just died when the ship was completed

Same

+Tallen Smith Yea, you can understand it if you want to waste like 2 years on this crap

Widdly Skuds Im not retarded, yay! But im also too lazy to research it all!

***** I dont play mobas out of fear for my life disappearing.

oops sorry meant mmo

far from scripture but he do sound cool.

what he's quoting is the flavor text for each titan

AramakiMakisan scripture enough for any eve online fanboy

Alexander Anderson anyone

crimsonwolf911 Lmao, scripture

just paid 30b for an avatar :)

@@Deathstar111978 Where is the test server? I wanna try to fly titan there.

@@mingtang7052 just go to the launcher, bottom right hand side, change it from tranquility to singularity and log in. From there type /moveme and it will give you a list of systems to join.

@@Deathstar111978 wait what??

115 BILLION?!?!?! Jesus Christ! I feel cool with my measly net worth of ~12 MILLION!!!

Wait, so if your ship explodes, you have to start from scratch?

AHappyFace yes and no, if the ship epxlodes it's gone, some of the items equipped may survive the initial destruction, but the ship itself and a large portion of the items will be just gone, a player will need to purchase a entirely new ship, and possibly even a entirely new set of guns, and shields, and other modules to outfit the ship. a common saying in the eve world is do NOT fly something you can't afford to lose, for example, when i was playing (i take long breaks often) i commonly flew eithe ra worm, or agila (or a drake) these are my go to ships, the gila cost around 250 million isk, which in real world currency would make it about 5 dollars, that said i have three of them (my main and two are docked waiting for me to outfit it if my mian gets destroyed) there are several unique ships in teh games (where only 1 or 2 or 3 of the ships actually EXIST) they have prices in the tens of billions, or trillions of isk, and if they ever get destroyed, they are gone forever...(unless CCP does another event that gives the ship out, which is unlikely)

AHappyFace just to add, eve has two "lvl" systems in place one is a pilots skills, which is training up in real time by the player and basically says WHAT items they can use, or what ships they are able to fly, and how well they fly em (via stat bonus etc) as of now, this is permanent, if you die, you skills generally suffer no penalty (there are a few exceptions to this for high end eve gaming) and then their is the ship you are flying, and how it is outfitted, which has a monetary (in game moneys, not real) cost associated with it, if you die, your ship is destroyed, (and then you spawn in a escape capsule that you can use to flee, or get podded as well) when the ship is destroyed the specific ship no longer exists in teh game, sure there are other ships of teh same clas sout there, and people can make them, but you will have to buy them to replace it along with whatever you had equipped.

+CopperLeagueGaming Okay. Wow. So this is a really hardcore game.

Not really, it's not quite accessible for a new audience, thats for sure, BUT if you can get a good mentor and you enjoy technically detailed games instead of twitch based games it's a blast, if you give it a try, try to find a player to give you a extended trial (3 week trial with no need to pay anything) pay attention to rookie chat, and seek teh guidence of many of the community, it can eb a ton of fun, if you get into it, i suggest you look up eve university, it's a player corporation (basically a guild of other games) who sole purpose for existing is helping newbs,

You mean complete history? Yeez, I think you don't know what *complete* means if you want one for Eve. How many weeks do you want it to last?

Oh ye It would like 18 years long

BoB was actually an acronym for the legendary Band of Brothers, which was defeated by the RedSwarm Alliance

@@myalt3019 *Goonswarm. Goonswarm Federation was its successor arguably. Two different entities.

@@xela6349 Sorry, I meant RedSwarm Alliance and Pandemic Legion

@@myalt3019 you mean Redswarm Federation. Because it consisted of Tau Ceti Federation, Red Alliance and Goonswarm.

no

yes

pacinpm2 wait, i read it wrong, yes. Or actually I don't know people say different things. Some yes some no.

Kartik Mathur Yes, BoB killed first 3 titans. They were the best PVP alliance back than. Also they won a Titan in a CCP PVP Tournament. They had lots of spies in other alliances so they prevented them from having such powerful ships. Titans in those days had Doomsday Device capable of killing hundreds of ships at one click of a button.

pacinpm2 gotcha

Specifically Space Catholics.

NoobsofFredo Specifically, Space Spanish Inquisition!

Elthenar Good point.

Space Nazis? Anyone? Im playing an Amarrian and I always get nazi/protoss vibes xD

Amarr aren't Nazi's. Amarr is closer to the Spanish Inquisition.

They would all look so much better if the engines were just put on the opposite side of the ship, they all look so wonky and weird with the big bulky part at the front, including the Avatar, though it is the one that looks the best.

@@LordDim1 arguably that's better, that way you have more buffer on the bridge.

ALL HAIL STEVE!

GTgaming69 The name comes from norse mythology.

GTgaming69 In norse mythology Gjallarhorn is a horn that can be heard by both gods and men. It's only to be blown if someone tries to cross the bridge between Midgard and Åsgard, waking the gods. It also marks the beginning of Ragnarok.

+vindikaktus Midgård and Asgård*

Not to say that you can't own your own pos (player owned station). You can. It may require you to run several accounts simultaneously, but this is common, especially with dedicated industrialists. One in particular I can think of is named Tengu Skunkworks. He operates a high sec pos (I believe, could be wrong) and is responsible for many of the t3 cruisers floating around new eden. For reference, each t3 cruiser is worth between 0.5b-1.1b ISK or $15 to $30 US, and he is capable of churning out hundreds at a time. Calling the dude rich is an understatement. There is a plethora of player made guides that teach you how to do this kind of stuff. Also, it is now possible to own orbital stations and collect taxes from other players who use them. I don't know how profitable that is, but apparently profitable enough to bring Goonfleet to high sec. Fly dangerous o7

An alliance or a strong corporation can have station(s) in nullsec. A solo player has no reason to fly a Titan, because a Titan in EvE Online is a strategically used ship, therefore is used only in pvp fleets. Star Citizen is going to be better in PvP but it will lack massive pvp fleets (like 40.000 people battle). Overall, star citizen (from what we know), will lack the organic style of EvE. It will not be so player driven, nor the economy, neither the future of the game.

I meant that players in EvE can build a real station (not a POS), A real station will cost you around 25 Billions (only in null security systems though). =) Come back to EvE and be a member of a good helpful corporation. It's relaxing and really unique a game. =)

It takes more than a year of cost be damnned skill training on a player (I'm sure you realize how the Eve skill system works) just to make it titan worthy. That being said, traditionally, titans aren't for individual players. Alone, they're honestly quite vulnerable to a hungry pack and in that it takes months to build one, it's just not worth it.

It makes sense - it is meant for big guilds that will have an escort of other ships. I think that is good as long as it offers diversity for other player to play different things/playtyle. It seems to me, Eve does that.

You realize titans have been in eve for like 5+ years right?

The Greeks must be proud of their mythology right now.

Titan Fall hahahaha

Attack on Titan!

Gtfo titan hater!

seems so. that's why i came here myself :P

Lasse u they never even made it look like that. completely your fault.

You can check out X3 and it's expansion.It's on a smaller scale and sp,but it's overall the same game.

Lasse u empyrion is tge closest game i have found that fits your discription.

yep, another mile long and a foot deep game. eve`s complexity and depth is yet to be matched.

Pumblechook 1 band of brothers,

Chiriac Puiu Yeah, but in wow, the game time token is meant to be used by poor people, who can play wow enought to farm those golds, but after while, they will get tired of taht and start s to buy game time .

+fluffyrevenge22 yes, how else would you handle war in this scale

Dear lord almighty, can't imagine building a titan then having it destroyed...

I'm so glad I never played this game now...

Could you imagine fighting a war, destroying the flagship of the enemy fleet and then having them return a few hours later after it respawns? You can't fight a proper war if your enemy magically respawns their war assets.

Scott Manley You're very right, I guess this game is pushing to be the ultimate space war simulator and I respect that. Thanks a lot for replying!

+Captain Capellini The part of the game not controlled by by NPC and able to be conquered by players is called Nullsec. In this areas groups of players called corporations work together for mutual defense and pool resources to build bigger and better ships. The "guild leader" of a corp will often take on the title of CEO or some other such business related title. To build one of these Titans it requires massive resources and often the combined efforts of many separate corporations of many hundreds to thousands of players. The first Titan built as you mention was from one of the largest player Alliances (group of many corporations working together) in the game at the time and took 3 months to build. The destruction of this titan actually led to the almost overnight collapse of one of the greatest alliances ever seen in the game at the time.

Wow. So players in the alliance had to gather resources for 3 months to build it? Also, is it like a group could create any ship they want or do they have to build ones that already exist? It would be really good if you could make your own custom shape and design and weapons.

+Captain Capellini Yah you can't design the ships they are based on the in game NPC Nations that exist in areas that players can not control. As to the resource gathering that is why it is like a corporation. Miners collect resources, traders transport goods and manufacturers produce components. These then all have to be sent to shipyards. The first titan was actually built in secret by the leaders of Ascendant Frontier in order to keep other alliances from coming in to destroy the project. So the member were just playing the game and contributing to the corporation that protected them from pirates and rival factions. This massive chain of thousands led to the creation of the first titan. If you are interested there is a really great history of the first 6 years of Eve called "Empires of Eve: A History of the Great Wars of Eve Online" by Andrew Groen for like $10 on Amazon. The world feels real with the rise and fall of great nations that held sway throughout the game's history.

I've only known about this game for 24 hours but this is the greatest game ever. Thanks for filling me in on this, I've enjoyed playing it today and I really want to join a great empire one day. I just found out that there was a battle where $300,000 worth of items that don't even exist were destroyed.

+Captain Capellini yeah happened because one guy forgot to pay the bill

Fraktallity - Fifa 15 Videos Hahahaha nobody actually buys these things, they earn them ingame. In theory, you could buy it, but I'm not sure why...

there's not much surface in space that can reflect or absorb light. if you look at the star, it's so bright it hurts

+xavier k. haberle its actuly 15. BUT within a month of playing,... you earn enough IN GAME cash to pay it off, as you can buy ur sub with in game money... meaning if you grind it, its gonna be free.

+xavier k. haberle if you can't afford 15 dollar per month for game you shouldn't play games, you should find job.

DartLuke its not that i cant afford it, its that its to much of a waste of money for a RTS especially when i dont like RTSes that much. i could do what +Cody Evans said to do, but that takes alot of devotion and work, not something im really willing to put into a game just to keep playing it.

xavier k. haberle this is MMORPG, not rts

DartLuke whatever, still not paying 15 a month for a game that consists of mostly looking at spreadsheets.

Or just play the game for 3 years and be good at making money.

It's just calculated equivalents. 30 day game time cards sell in the stations for about 800 million ISK. Each card is about $20. They just run the price of the ship and its modules and divide it by the market value of the cards. Titans are a waste of time now. They're pointless to fly unless you just want a mobile jump bridge.

Not just 4k, you have to get the account to be able to use it right off the bat. That's a lot of cash in itself. You'll get there yourself by playing the game, but with the conversion to irl money, you have figures. Most people would probably take isk instead.

How did u not notice that scott manley replied to your comment. Thats messed up bra

well its about $1700 a titan

Materials modules ect are bought though.

people are paying thousands of dollars for small personal ships in Star Citizen, so yeah, people would pay that much for them.

actually in the in game matrials it a massive corperation a year in some cases to gather the resources to build a titan that much minerals and so on costs alot of isk ( the ingame currency) and since ccp as provided eve players witha way to buy isk $20 gets you about 600mill isk so when they say $4000 dollars they mean $4000

People that spend 1000s of dollars on any game are fools.

only wow players spend 1000$ on eve 4000$ is just the real world value of a titan in reality 120,000,000,000,000isk (in game currency) $4000 is just how much you would spend if you dont want to go through collecting that much money and paying for plex to get the resources instead.

Go to wiki and stop asking us -_- nobody gives a shit about others these days

Imagine a game that is entirely based around a large amount of players, where everything needs to be built using materials which are limited and can only be gotten by mining and production facilities. Now imagine all missions are simply other players paying you to do shit. Now imagine clans, called corporations, can hold territory. Basically, the entire game is a massive, truly dynamic universe.

I seriously doubt thats simple

me nobody EVE is a unique game so I cant do it in one sentence by comparing to other games. The simpliest would be "A space sim MMO with a dynamic world" by that makes you think something completely wrong.

me nobody Actually, I had two accounts and played for a year. It's pretty much as Rainbow described. THough there is something called "mission running" where you run missions for NPC corps, usually killing lots of mobs. There's also ratting (Killing NPC pirates in asteroid belts).

I wouldn't call it Poor at all that being said the Leviathans dooms day looks like ass and the Avatars looks a little cheesy but the Erebus and Ragnarok doomsdays are more than awesome

Are you ppl playing any other games? This special effect for dooms weapon looks like shit, comparing to its power and meaning. This effect/ animation is like 5 years ago. Ccp should work on it. And no, this is not bullshit talk, im working as graphic designer and as a player for last 20 years i see that somebody missed it or forgot. Eve is beautifull, lets show it correctly.

***** i didnt wirte that i played eve for 20 years ffs :/ wasnt that so logic? :) in eve for 6 years, and yeah, if u ever play only EVEonline, so yes, maby this what u see there is enuff for you. hehehe, and im home, just starting drink :)

Alahim Janu They are finally releasing a reanimation for them this year, they look sick!

Ó Slatraigh If you come to this video to hate then you can fuck off. People take this shit seriously. I've seen 18 million dollar prize pools.

Kahmoj I can fuck off, but I wont. :D ***** Uh huh :D

+Ó Slatraigh If you are not intelligent intelligent enoth to understand his video.. then why dont you just shut up? Those ships have the equivalent of 4000$. It doesnt mean that someone did spent this money on something. It just means that the items that the 1000+ people alliance used to build this ship are worth this much in "plex". The ships are build from taxes that the alliance members payed over time from their ingame money, not from RL money. Just because someone in RL is the captain of a aircraftcarrier doesnt mean that he did buy and build this thing... he is just in charge of command over value, because of his position. Even if you would pay 4000$, you wouldnt be abel to use this thing anyway, because you're just a big target without support. Its just like a canon.. you cant kill a fly with it, because its build to destory BIG things.

DreaMeRHoLic wot

+Ó Slatraigh no one is actually paying 4k irl money, but the time and resources that often hundreds of people have to gather to make 1 titan are equivalent to 4 thousand dollars in plex(game time cards worth 250-500 million isk(eve money) each

Sounds like you cant tolerate the fact that people have hobbies outside of yours.

Yeah... bro, even some US diplomats play this game, no you get a life sir. Since only people with money can play this game.

MrAntiFag Its not as if the ships cost money irl, its just the conversion from in game currency to real money, as icelandic krona is used in the game

Stop feeding the troll... let it starve.... >:D

Mmm...now that 4 years have passed...how long out of that time that you were not online ?
